Molecular Analysis of NTB-A Signaling: A Role for EAT-2 in NTB-A-Mediated Activation of Human NK Cells
1 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
Engagement of NTB-A on human NK cells by homophilic interaction with NTB-A-expressing target cells can trigger NK cell cytotoxicity, cytokine production, and proliferation. To better understand how NTB-A can activate NK cells, we analyzed the molecular mechanisms of NTB-A signaling. We show that NTB-A is tyrosine phosphorylated in unstimulated human NK cells and associates with SLAM-associated protein (SAP) and...
